(Oh man. I haven't updated in forever, I feel horrible. I wish I had some excuse, but I don't. I am so sorry. Hopefully this chapter makes up for the long wait. I love all you guys for waiting. *internet hug*
I also want to thank all the people who reviewed, thanks so much! You guys are so amazing, and your comments are the best. Thanks a ton.
And so, with out further ado, I present this chapter!)
(Alright. Since I'm a horrible author, I forgot to mention a few details in the chapter that you'll probably need to know. Basically, Hiccup hasn't talked to Jack ever since the incident, and has forgotten about him over the years. Soon, Jack's family decides to move away, to Burgess. And, a few years later, coincidently, Hiccup's father decides to move there too. Cheesy coincidence, I know. I'm so uncreative. My apologies.)
The eighteen year old groaned, stirring at the blaring sound of his alarm. Wrapped in blankets, Hiccup rolled over to the side of his bed with a groan, and reached for the source of the sound to turn it off. Before his fingertips could press down on the alarm clock, a familiar warm, wet tongue traveled across the teenagers face. He slowly opened his tired eyes to see the face of his dog.
"Toothlessss." Hiccup mumbled in an complaining tone, though he couldn't stop from a small smile pulling up the corners of his mouth. "We've really got to stop you from waking me up like this."
Hiccup reached to the desktop where his alarm stay ringing. Reaching out, he realized a little too late that the clock was the slightest bit out of reach. Accidentally pushing himself too far, he quickly found himself fallen off his bed and tumbled onto the floor, blankets wrapped around him. The alarm soon followed him with a crash, continuing to ring. With a heavy sigh, Hiccup slammed his fist against its top, causing it to stop. The teenager glanced over to his black dog, whose tongue was still hanging out of its mouth. Hiccup gave a small, goofy grin. "If only dad could see me now, huh, Tooth?" He reached out and rubbed the top of Toothless's head.
Hiccup's dad, Stoick, was always pressuring his son to become something he wasn't. There wasn't much you could do with a weak, underweight high schooler like Hiccup, though, but he kept trying. And Hiccups father probably wouldn't be all that proud if he saw him like this. Luckily, he couldn't. Hiccup's father was always up before he was, and gone to work before Hiccup would wake up, and hardly ever home. It's like he never saw him.
As for his mother, she'd been dead ever since he turned ten.
Hiccup slowly got up on his knees, and tossed all his blankets onto his bed with a heavy grunt. He glanced around the room before he stood up on his feet. The room was scattered with half-empty boxes, laying around. His dad and him hadn't unpacked everything from Berk yet. Hiccup saw no point in moving from Berk to Burgess, but it's not really like he had a choice in it anyways. He already missed everyone from Berk already, even though most of them liked to punch him around for fun. Hiccup even started to miss Astrid, a girl who broke his arm 'accidentally' after he lost a basketball game for his team. Hiccup winced at the memory before quickly rushing to his drawer to get dressed.
The high schooler tried not to fall over from the weight of his heavy, overfilling with binders backpack before getting to his new school.
Hiccup was drowning in his thoughts and worries, that he didn't realize he had walked to the school in what seemed like a few seconds. He bit his lip, a constant habit he had when he was nervous ever since he was little.
The school, Burgess High, seemed huge. He would probably- no, he would definitely get lost at some point. Hopefully, being the new kid, he wouldn't get in too much trouble. The entrance of the school was swarming with people. None of them paid any attention to Hiccup, but it didn't bother him. He was used to being ignored.
Once Hiccup managed to push his way through the huge crowd of students and through the heavy doors of the high school, he swung his bag off of his back and knelt down, pulling the zipper open to rummage through his bags contents. "Binders, pencils, papers…" Hiccup muttered under his breath. His schedule was still out of sight. He sighed, brushing his hands through his rather long brown hair.
Jack clutched the crumpled sheet of paper in his sweaty hands, gasping for air and running as fast as his legs allowed him to across the school's field.
"Jackson, you ass, get back here!" A boy a few years older than him with dark grey hair-Aster? Was that his name?-was chasing after him. Jack just laughed in response.
Once he reached the schools' entrance, he pushed his way through the massive crowd of students, and pulled the school's door open with his free hand. Glancing backwards, Jack didn't see the boy in front of him on his knees. He barely had enough time to react before he tripped over him, sending his bag spilling it's contents all over the floor.
"Oh gods." Hiccup rubbed his eyes after being knocked to the ground. He reached around for his glasses, and once he found them, put them on.
He could see another boy his age, laying on the ground, rubbing his head, his fingers wrapped around a piece of paper. He had strange white hair that stuck out all over the place, and light blue eyes that looked somewhat familiar to Hiccup, but he shook off the thought.
"Sorry." The boy muttered, a slight smirk creeping on his face. He slowly stood up, and held out a hand to help Hiccup up. As Hiccup reached for his hand, the strange boy quickly drew back his hand and started to laugh, running away. A tall boy chased after him, screaming curses.
Hiccup sighed, and crawled over to his backpack to put his binders back inside of it.
For all of you who are wondering, 'Aster' is the Easter Bunny from Rise of the Guardians. In the books, his name is E. Aster Bunny, so I decided his human name should be Aster.
I also apologize for all the stupid spelling mistakes, I tried to write this chapter on an airplane, which probably wasn't the best of ideas, because I felt like I was going to puke the whole time.
I feel like this is a really disappointing chapter, I really can't express how sorry I am.
So sorry for the late update and this really boringly crappy chapter, and all the mistakes.
Thanks for reading!
(And thankssss to Jinyi for editing!)
